Bumpity bump bump bump! Pics?:sombrero: FYI, check out my build under 'Home Grown Pop up', I had alot of the same requirements and i built mine differently than yours, but still ended up at $1000 spent.

A shot of the inside. This is one, actually two, of those cheapo sleeping mats found at the mega discount store. Cost something like $5.88 a piece. I figured its worth a try. This will be the base pad for the sleeping area and the pad for a seat. The blank section is the lid for a storage area...

Beginning of the end! Well, its been a long coupe of weeks since i last posted. It doesn't look like i got much done, but here we go....... Below is the result of 3 coats of 50/50 mineral spirits, spar urethane, 2 coats of staright spar urethane, and 2 coats of rustoleum gloss white enamel...

Ok, so i've been looking around in this sub forum for little while and haven't found the info i'm looking for. So if this has been posted before and i'm just not good at searching please direct me. I'm not really new to photography, just a little rusty. As i am nearing completion of my truck...

Skinning So, i've been working on it a little bit over the last few weeks. I've got it just about skinned out. Here's a pick! http://www.flickr.com/photos/rdraider72/6056913053/

Thanks for the idea!:sombrero: Still looking at options. Any ideas will help!

Not yet, when I get closer to the final product I'll let you know. The goal is 300 pounds, give or take a few dozen. ;-)

Thanks for your comments. All are welcome. I have been thinking about this project for over a year now, and really couldn't begin to figure out the small details without starting it. As i have gone along, i have had to change some ideas, and add others. The air conditioner was a late addition...

update A took a week off from work to get a liitle more done to the camper. Here it is with the top up. Still got work to do. Rear view of camper by rdraider72, on Flickr Front view of camper by rdraider72, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

I want an Oz Tent, just can't afford one.

Do a google search for best glide. They have a FAK refill for like 30.00, that has just about everything in it.

Update Got a bit more done on my camper today. I have the top done just didn't get a photo of it. The door is awfully short, may have to do some re-eingineering on it.

I live in texas, so i'm not to worried about letting the heat out, more worried about getting the heat out! But i figure i could mock up some panels that could be put in place pretty cheaply. Thanks for the link!

Ford Perfect, First, I found something called silnylon, on ebay, its silicone impregnated rip stop nylon. I think that will work fine. As far as cost, I've got $200.00 into it right now and expect to spend about $300.00 more at most. On the size issue, i'm not sure what you're referring to, but...

Ok, a little further on. It's starting to look a little more like a camper.

Here's the first pic of my home grown pickup camper. It'll have a pop top. That's my truck in the back ground. More to come

How's it working out?
